| | | Friend was driving my car and got a ticket. Who is responsible?
What is the name of your state? Texas
So, a friend of mine got a ticket while driving my car. The ticket was for an expired inspection sticker. I wasn't in the vehicle at the time and she knew the sticker was expired. I had told her previoulsy that if she drives it, it's the risk she is choosing to take.
Now she's let the ticket, which is in her name, wait so long that she has a warrant for her arrest and the price to pay it off has doubled. Now of course she's trying to get me to pay it because it is my car. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me who is in the right or wrong on this one?What is the name of your state? |

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

| | | The car should not have been lent out. The owner knew that driving it would constitute an illegal act. It is true that she drove it anyway and it is her fault for the ticket but realistically there are two people at blame. What happens if the insurance company is notified that he is lending out his car without a valid inspection sticker on it? |

BOTH parties were aware of the fact that the inspection was overdue. The OWNER was willing to take the chance with their insurance company (which they are not going to do anything just because someone drove the car with an expired inspection sticker anyway) and the FRIEND took the chance with the police.
Trying to make the owner out to be the one at fault is completely idiotic. The "friend" needs to grow up and start taking responsibility for their own actions. The person KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY drove the vehicle and now they must deal with the repercussions.
